Perhaps the final EYE image.
I'm trying to do some "cleaning" here in the house and at times, inside my head. Clutter. The recycling can for paper etc is full and waiting for the big truck. The new neighbors have boxes on their side of the street and what looks like two very long curtain poles....if this was a thru street someone would have picked those up.....taken them home.. "Shopping" on garbage night is a tradition.
When I was boxing stuff up for the Attic...I walked the street after dark on Monday and collected all the empty folded Amazon boxes. A good number every Monday evening. Now packed and stacked in the Attic with contents written in black Sharpie on each one. Very Virgo. No guessing what's inside.
I saw my first Hallmark movie with two guys kissing each other. Trump almost got shot again. I also set FOX's the English Teacher to record episodes. (what???)
It's been an interesting week. Coloring outside the lines.
A book I had ordered to read- is one I have already read....I got to a point in the plot lines when I was feeling sort of "this feels like I already read this".......and I also realized I had stopped reading it as soon as Amber started painting the roses on the wall. And I remembered Amber and Neil. On to the next book on the shelf.
Son went out for lunch yesterday and brought home a large bottle of Dawn dish soap. I was out. I stopped using the dishwasher years ago and do the small number of daily dishes by hand. In the sink. And now I have a YEAR'S WORTH of Dawn...he bought a really BIG bottle. I poured what I needed into my nearly empty bottle and added water.....it's how I roll. Recalling a past Life during the Great Depression I think. I also have a large spool of string. Several canning jars of assorted sizes and colors of buttons (some inherited from my grandmother). Needles and heavy thread for sewing Winter coats I think. I also have boxes of canning jars...just in case...an lids. During the pandemic lids were difficult to find and purchase. As was salt, vinegar and sugar. The basics of Food Storage.
Recently I started washing and wearing clothing I had saved to cut and use for a quilt... now they fit. So I am wearing the clothing. Several red items- linen pants and shirts. Delightful.
The Whole House Generator People are coming to visit today....we might still have to use the gas powered driveway one until spring or summer of next year. My timing was off....and I really hope we don't have a repeat of last Winter when the power was off so many many times.
An animal or more than one...took down the back fence and some slate tiles...I have to clean it all up. We also smelled Skunk overnight. The Joys of Rural Living.

I read that book with Amber painting the roses. I didn't like it as well as the previous two books in that series. (Part of Your World and Yours Truly, I think.)
